Abstract
- The article discusses the outcome of the Medicare Care Choices Model conducted by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The trial enabled beneficiaries to enroll in hospice care while receiving curative care for their terminal illness at the same time. A study revealed lower hospitalization rates among Medicare fee-for-service patients who receive hospice care.
